Pay-to-win cheat codes

#DailySignals - Your 2 minute guide to the future
4

The trouble with pay to win games is that they are no fun to play - and that they are unsustainable to run.

Today I look at how Tinder charging USD499 per month to harass, I mean contact, people who would otherwise have no interest in them.

It’s another signal of the commoditization of the digital commons (like X charging you to tweet or be seen tweeting) - and the winners take all zero sum future that awaits us…

Unless - we remember that capitalism cannot be tolerated unless there is a credible promise of equality of opportunity- unless people can believe that prizes can be earned as well as paid for…

What are your thoughts on zero sum pay to win markets of people, services and goods?

Does anyone really win in pay to win games?

How sustainable is a society built on bought cheat codes sold to the highest bidder?
